Euclase and Jadeite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Jadeite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Jadeite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.28-3.38 whereas that of Jadeite is 3.28-3.38.
